A probability model describes what an action may do. An action catalogue describes whether that action is available. A useful abstraction may need to preserve both. Keeping a correct next-state marginal while losing the report correlation can destroy a filter. Keeping the correct filter while losing a permission distinction can admit an action that the underlying model forbids.
